I do know that people who bought what they thought was a Paperwhite 3 and learned when the updates hit that theirs wasn't a Paperwhite 3 were not happy and it was the store they held responsible.

Did the sign say "Paperwhite 3"? If not, then they were not advertising 3's.
If Amazon sold those paperwhite's to Sam's, then Sam's could sell them for whatever they wanted.
Unless they specifically said the customer was buying a 3, then there is no fraud.
You know there is a very easy way to handle this. If you find the behavior unethical, then might I recommend you quit supporting Sam's and Amazon. That is the only way a business knows you have a problem with them.
Vote with your wallet.
For what it's worth, people sell things all the time for more than they paid for them.
